Heybeliada

Heybeliada is the name of an island off Istanbul's Coast where people have their summer homes. We were invited there for dinner, with Esra's family, and we had to take the ferry for 90 minutes to get there. Very interesting landscapes and people. Quite a trip. Erik, Maiko, Nicole, Tarek, Clement, Ali... great people, mostly Esra's friends. There are no cars in the island. Just charriots and horses. It was my night before last in Istanbul.
















I talked to this man on the way back in the ferry. He was from Oman, his name was Omar. A banker. He was traveling with his kids. Very nice family, happy kids. He was on vacation, far away from work.
